Basques who attended the recent 48th Annual Kern County Basque Festival 2022 in Bakersfield, Calif. talk about what it means to be Basque. Their favorite aspects of the Basque culture include the sense of community it provides, the food, and activities like handball and the card game mus.

Qué bonito. Soy de Pamplona y vasca. Es maravilloso ver el orgullo de nuestras raíces en otros países. Oso polita eta maitagarria. Ripa eta Erro esagutzen dut. Euskal dantzaria izan naiz urte askotan. Ondo segi eta besarkada bat guztioi.

The Basque Country is the cradle of ancient warriors and knights. They are less likely to be immigrated by Portuguese and Mooro people, so they have light skin, red lips, high noses, deep eyes, and look more elegant than other autonomous regions of Spain. Especially, they are a people with a martial spirit and a princely spirit. Typically, A.Bilbao club never buys players originating outside the Basque country. Real Sosiedas as well as 1 opposing team in each Spanish city are royally sponsored vassals. The Basque Country and Basque people are so beautiful.

Of course, You know what I’ll ask about…Hizkuntzaren buruz! 😅 My mission is hard, but I’ll keep plugging along and hopefully get more Basque learners. Hope to make it back to Bakersfield again.

How do I find out how I’m Basque along with my whole family?😊

[@EuskalKazeta]

Hi Barb: So what information do you have already?

[@barbliska6420]

@@EuskalKazeta hi I have very little. I just saw this again. Thanks for answering me. I would love to have any information to help me.

[@bottlefed517]

A DNA test with Ancestry would be practical to do. Ancestry has the largest database in the world. I'm 6% Basque! I am proud about all of my ancestors. Bizi Euskal Herria!!!! 🇪🇦🇨🇵

[@nomcognom2414]

Wow, that seems to be some typo, Bakersfield for Basquerfield, Basquerville, or whatever. 😉

[@Luminescence-432]

I must go home

[@Datacorrupter234]

are basques south european or north european? or neither

[@EuskalKazeta]

The unique people come from the region of northern Spain and southern France and speak the oldest language of Europe, which they call "Euskara."

[@FrankJoseph-tp2jz]

Did the Basques settle the Canary Islands a long time ago ?

[@EuskalKazeta]

It is widely believed that people from the Iberian peninsula migrated to the Canary Islands. Therefore it makes sense that Basque explorers would be adventurous in their landing on the islands.

[@FrankJoseph-tp2jz]

@@EuskalKazeta I read the ranks of the conquistadors had many Basques among the leaders
